Naruto: My version is ahead of the ninja world

"What's that noise?"

Yu Xian saw the smoke rising into the sky, but he didn't immediately think of it as a large-scale enemy attack. This was Konoha, one of the five great ninja villages. Was it so easy to invade?

In fact, this kind of thing is not difficult for certain enemies; the more counterintuitive the goal, the easier it is to achieve.

Like ninjas, ninja villages are often good at offense but bad at defense.

However, when the explosions continued and smoke filled the air from multiple locations, Yu Xian had no choice but to consider the worst-case scenario.

"They really are attacking Konoha. Who are the enemies? Iwagakure and Sunagakure? Or have Kirigakure or Kumogakure, which haven't joined the war yet, suddenly entered the fray?"

Yu Xian was confused about the enemy's origins, and at that moment he had a feeling that the Nine-Tails' rampage had come to life ahead of time. The good news was that although he was near Konoha, he was not actually in the village, so he could directly break away from Konoha's command system and become a combat unit with independent operational capabilities.

In theory, Yugen should leave and return to Konoha, but he doesn't intend to do so; he wants to continue chasing after Nawaki.

"It seems to match up. As expected, a small butterfly like me can't stir up any waves. No matter who the enemy is, as long as Konoha is attacked, it's really not a big deal if a few genin die in the chaos."

Yugen decided to continue pursuing the genin squad that Nawaki was in, since Konoha didn't need another ninja like him.

The Fourth Shinobi World War was a comprehensive event that could affect the entire world. What was shown in the original story was only the tip of the iceberg, and Hagen's foresight advantage could not always be put to use.

The unexpected attack threw Konoha into chaos. However, for a ninja village like this, it was very difficult to launch a "center-blooming" attack. The enemy could only launch attacks from the outside in.

Compared to the attack at that time, it is clear that the Konoha Crush plan many years later was more reasonable. Using the Chunin Exams to bring Jinchuriki into Konoha and then letting the Jinchuriki go berserk was indeed a clever little idea.

In short, by operating on the outskirts of Konoha, Yugen is more likely to encounter Sand Village ninjas.

His luck had always been bad, so unsurprisingly, he encountered a large group of enemy ninjas.

"Huh? Where's the Rope Tree Squad?"

Yu Xian suddenly stopped in his tracks. Not far ahead, he saw more than twenty ninjas forming a circle, seemingly preparing to do something big.

At this moment, Yugen finally figured out the enemy's identity and origin... they were Sand Village ninjas.

"It's Sunagakure again. Could this be a follow-up or supplement to what happened before?"

Upon seeing the headbands of the Sand Village ninjas, Yugen immediately recalled their previous plan to attack the Konoha front-line camp. Could it be that the plan failed, which led to this attack?

Is this treating Konoha as a weak point in their rear? This attack has a certain chance of success, but isn't it a bit disrespectful to the Third Hokage?

"Always trying to take unconventional approaches often makes it difficult to achieve a surprising victory."

At this moment, Yu Xian really wanted to say to Feng Ying, "Look, you guys are in a hurry again."

"It's Konoha ninja! We've been discovered!"

"Don't stop! Send two people to stop him!"

At such a short distance, when Yugen spotted the Sand Village ninja, the ninja also spotted him. If the latter hadn't been preoccupied with setting up the jutsu, Yugen would have been spotted much earlier.

Yu Xian also noticed the large spell on the ground. Although he didn't know exactly what these people were doing, he knew without a doubt that he couldn't let the spell be successfully activated.

There were too many enemies, and Yu Xian didn't want to fight them head-on. Nobody likes being ganged up on, but now that they had met, how could the enemy possibly allow him to escape?

The forces of both sides around Konoha are incomparable. If a Konoha ninja is left unchecked, it will definitely attract a large number of Konoha ninjas.

Yu Xian understood this as well, so he decided to strike before the enemy could counterattack.

His right arm hung naturally, and his little finger hooked down to catch the tail ring of the kunai in the ninja tool pouch on his leg. After pulling out the kunai's blade, he smeared it with his thumb, and a few drops of blood immediately seeped out from the small wound.

Then he released the kunai, quickly formed hand seals, and then slammed one hand on the ground... Summoning Jutsu!

The enormous, psychic white serpent immediately appeared on the battlefield. The moment it appeared, without even waiting for Yu Xian's command, it lashed its tail at the circular spell pattern.

boom!

Its physique, surpassing that of a ninja, brought physical strength far beyond what a ninja could imagine. With a flick of its tail, the summoned white snake caused the ground to explode, and spiderweb-like cracks spread across its attack points. Amidst the uneven, shattered ground, the spell was destroyed.

The Sand Village ninjas were quite agile; they dodged the fatal blow, but faced with the destroyed jutsu, they instantly became enraged... The jutsu failed to activate, and all their efforts were in vain.

"Kill him! Kill him!"

Regardless, let's deal with this Konoha ninja first.

Yu Xian stood atop the white snake's head. Since the enemy had been provoked, it proved that his decision to prioritize destroying the spell was correct.

"I wasn't very confident facing one against twenty, but now that it's two against twenty, I feel much better..." he said half-jokingly to the psychic white snake.

Despite saying that, Yu Xian had no intention of leaving the top of the white snake's head. Now it would depend on whether these Sand Village ninjas had experience in dealing with large summoning beasts.

The white snake maintained the same attitude as before; regardless of whether it could speak or not, it had no intention of speaking.

It twisted its body, launching attacks on the Sand Village ninja with its tail, torso, and head.

The advantage of summoning snakes is their powerful physical abilities, but their disadvantage is that they cannot use "skills"... Snakes do not have a body structure similar to fingers, so of course they cannot use ninjutsu.

While dodging the white snake's crushing blows, the Sand Village ninjas launched various ninjutsu attacks at it. Naturally, no one intended to compete with the white snake in taijutsu.

However, most ninjutsu attacks have little effect on the White Snake, and unless they work together, they cannot restrict the White Snake's movements at all.

These Sand Village ninjas were chased around by the summoning snake. They might be able to protect themselves, but it would be difficult for them to launch a joint attack in a short period of time.

Giant summoning beasts have great advantages, but also obvious disadvantages. To them, ninjas are like fleas, and large creatures sometimes can't handle fleas.

A Sand Village ninja seized the opportunity to climb onto the white snake's body and quickly arrived in front of Yugen.

"You can control such a large summoning snake, what is your relationship with Orochimaru?" The other party actually asked this question first.

Um, you're here to chat?

"Guess?" Yugen had no connection with Orochimaru, but he didn't say.

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than another giant psychic snake suddenly appeared on the battlefield.

Compared to Yu Xian's white snake, that snake's scales were all tinged with purple... Yu Xian recognized this snake; it was a sacrifice made by a famous artist during his artistic creation, the Ten Thousand Snakes.

Looking up again, Yugen saw Orochimaru above Manda's head.
